Constructed in 1978 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and serves primarily for flood risk reduction along the TR.CANADIAN RIVER. Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), the dam has a maximum storage capacity of 225 acre-feet and a normal storage of 168 acre-feet.
With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, Robertson Lindley is considered to have a very high risk assessment rating. Despite not being rated for its condition, the dam has undergone inspections every five years, with the last one conducted in August 2011. The dam is equipped with a single valve outlet gate and has not been modified since its completion. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Robertson Lindley presents an intriguing case study of a privately owned structure contributing to flood risk reduction in the region.
